anyone ever noticed how, no matter where you go in the world, people bitch about how they drive there?

about all he seems to have going for him is wanting to legalize da chronic, but even i have enough brain-cells left to know the rest of his program blows!

watcha wanna know? cooper spur's in great shape currently adn the road's open. i doubt the pearly gates' good, but bet you could make the old crater work if need be. luetholds and reid headwall are probably good too.

Perhaps that will be more enjoyable than Ivan singing at the belay. I doubt it though. I don't know about you but it makes me climb 100 times harder when some one is singing on belay could be that i just want to get out of ear shot but either way it rocks my wold my intro to singing belayers was a wacky persian who chanted in farsi - verse after verse of absolutely unintelligible goobley-gook - not at all unlike what i do in english

well duh, it crawled up tim-may's wife's hoo-hoo and was awaiting rebirth!!! and don't listen to rob's static, my first trip out w/ him i heard him ejaculate w/ glee more than a few bars of bon jovi's "dead or alive" - ha!

you can't put a weight on my own smug self-satisfaction in my tremendous ken!

it seems like "A"s the answer way more than 25% of the time!

why won't it go above level 41? i'm like cleaning up but it don't wanna step to me!!!

almost all the .10 routes at beacon are great for aiding - that's the only way i've gotten through parts of almost all of them!!! seriously, pretty much all of the south face routes follow continious (albeit often very small) cracks and are therefore perfect. might as well learn solo aiding at the same time or bring a hell of a lot of dope for your poor belayer... and, as w/ most climbing, how much do you really need an instruciton manual? a big rack and a will to scare yourself will go along way...

similiar to beowulf, it's one compelling feature is a tremendously hot chick... oh, and they DID keep the original transforming noise from the cartoon!

saw it last night - it wasn't as bad as i expected, and w/ a fair amount of topless angelina jolie, how much can you really bitch? i'm a big fan of the original story though and can't really understand why every director who takes it on chooses to fuck w/ it - the christopher lambert version reduced me to a mass of quivering anger-brain-jelly - the new version keeps a lot of the small, and interesting details from the poem (even managing to squeeze in some of the olde english verses!), but makes titantic changes to the overall plot that left me saying "what in the pluperfect fuck?!?" cool details they retained: - unferth's boast and the tale of beowulf's swimming contest w/ brecca -the "ancestral blade" hrunting and it's eventual melting into just a hilt - the recent intrusion of christianity into the blood-thirsty pagan world of 6th century denmark - the theft of a golden cup sparking the rage of the 3rd monster, a dragon, which ultimately kills beowulf - grendel's death caused by the tearing off of his arm - the character of wiglaf (only appears at the end of the poem but he musta bribed the director 'cuz he's in the whole damn movie) - grendel's (and his ma's) hideout in a "mere" beyond a "frost-stiffened wood" - hrothgar's queen wealthough - the historical character finn making an apperance - beowulf doing combat w/ grendel in the buff ("moreover i have heard the monster scorns, in his reckless way, the use of weapons - therefore, to highten hygelac's fame and gladen his heart, i hereby renouce the use of sword and the shelter of the broad shield - hand to hand is how it shall be, a life and death fight w/ the fiend - whichever one death fells must deem it a just judgement by god - fate goes ever, as fate must! (the later line surviving in the film)) what the fuck? issues: - hrogthgar and beowulf sparing and then fucking grendels ma - grendel's ma being hawt(!) and not a "tarn-hag" - hrothgar as a result having no kids (he has 2 in the poem) - hrothgar commiting suicide - wealthough lusting after beowulf and later marrying him - beowulf becoming king of the danes (instead of the geats) - all but 1 of beowulf's comrades dying (only 1 is killed int he poem) - beowulf making the crossing from geatland to denmark in a storm (in the poem they "thank god for that easy crossing on a calm sea") - the dragon being beowulf son - beowulf cutting off his own arm to slay the dragon i heard the movie's also done in 3d imax - that'd be much cooler! -

do you reaaaaly like diana ross that much?

the new beowulf - at least if you've read the poem

word. you know the holy trinity then. things might well not have dried out enough by then, but i highly recommend flying swallow (you can rap in from the far west end of grassy ledges) if its wet everywhere else as it stays dry the longest. you also need would enjoy stepphenwulf, flying circus, blood sweatn'smears, bluebird and jensens ridge.

i might be blake adn would love to show you 'roudn - i might go to hood though if the forecast stays good - stay in touch - at any rate, i'm sure i could hook you up w/ the grand patriarch of beacon, who is def the coolest person to climb w/ there...

what else can you do after an epic ascent of da south sista? practice makes perfect.

interesting linguistic lesson? apparently, in arabic, "no" DOES mean "yes?"

i remember climbing in seneca rocks, wv - there's rock quarries of somethign like that real close by, i assume, b/c every hour or so tremendous explosions could be heard - lent the place ambiance for certain climbing round gunfire'skewl - you can close your eyes on lead and imagine you're a ranger storming the cliffs of normandy!

you think my banana peel/apple core IS garbage

strange - woulda thought the url was http://drinkingmeownpiss.com

funny, the first time i met colin and wayne one of the 2 of them did just that - luckily it was right around 420 so i was pretty much completly bulletproof to such tomfoolery

I was just pissed cuz Ropeup felt like a PTA meeting for soccer moms and overbearing fathers. that's cuz all the kewl fawks were too busy epic'n to start drinking 'fore 2 AM!

Can I have your toenails? sorry, i already them after i remembered my 10th grade biology teacher said it'd get me "high, high, high as georgia pine"

i disagree - for the folks who can't afford cable, pbs offers about the only programming that's good for brain-food (hmm - should i watch "nova" or "america's next top model?")
